It's unfortunate how the "drama" in these threads causes me to overlook the actual content. Awesome work again, enigmawing! You've got sense of humor AND artistic talent -- what a winning combo!
Super Aurora, not to be nit-picky, but can you refrain from using the "r" word? With the wide range of ability levels here and everywhere, that word really can be taken as being offense -- not just when misconstrued from a sensitive standpoint as in other cases. I can let some of your other word choices slide, but that word really shouldn't be used here. I know, I know. I'm taking away your means of expression. Whatevs, you can handle it.

I personally don't see the joke, either. It was maybe funny the first time it was told, but all jokes reach a point when it becomes a running gag that loses steam. The "Louis should be shot" joke reached that point months ago, especially now, when it's repeated every week or so.

As long as people keep cracking up about milk buds jokes, which have been used on this board since 1876, I believe I can voice my thoughts on Louis.

Maybe we get her 'little sister' Madam Medusa and her shotgun to do the job?

I think you mean "inspired by the movement in Tunesia and Egypt". But that's okay, you're only off by an entire continent.
Well the Jasmine Revolution is what the current rebellion in China is called. Of course that was inspired in turn by Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, etc., but I didn't want to bore everyone with the ancestry of modern revolution. The most immediate source is the Jasmine Revolution, hence the pun. Trust me, I know my s***.

A dozen protesters in China does not a revolution make. And the term 'Jasmine revolution' was coined after the revolts in the Middle-East. I'm sure 'some' people will call me an arrogant ass for debating this with you, but just know I'm not trying to make fun of you. Just adding some facts.
